Often no symptomsOccasional headachesDizzinessElevated home blood pressure readingsShortness of breath with exertion

Overview

High blood pressure may not cause obvious symptoms and may go unnoticed by a patient, which is exactly why regular monitoring matters. A primary care provider who checks in with you consistently can help catch changes early and adjust your plan before they become a bigger problem.

How ongoing primary care can help

Your provider will review your home blood pressure readings, current medications, and risk factors, then help fine-tune your treatment, whether that's a medication adjustment, lab work, or lifestyle changes around diet, activity, and stress.

When to seek emergency careAn abnormal blood pressure reading paired with chest pain, severe headache, vision changes, or difficulty speaking is a medical emergency, call 911.

Frequently asked questions

Can hypertension (high blood pressure) really be managed over telehealth?
In many cases, yes. A primary care provider can evaluate your symptoms and history over video, review any recent labs, and help adjust your treatment plan when appropriate. For some chronic conditions, especially if they are uncontrolled, our providers may need to collect/complete vital signs, physical exams, lab tests, or imaging which requires an in person visit. Our providers will help you take the next step.
Do I need to keep seeing the same provider?
Continuity helps, as seeing the same provider over time means they already know your history and current plan, which usually means faster, more informed visits.
What if I need to be seen in person?
If your provider determines your condition needs an in-person exam, testing, or treatment they can't provide virtually, they'll let you know and help direct you to the right next step.
